Letter to Onis and Rosalie Whitman from Royce E. Whitman, October 24, 1942

Page 1

Did you ever write a letter in class? Thats what I'm doing now (as any polecat -- -- etc.). Today is the last day of school, and consequently we have very little to do. So if you will pardon my using notebook paper for stationary, I'll continue.

Thanks a million for the tobacco pouch and sewing kit. They are things I can really use and those kinds of things, I really appreciate.

My sojourn at Santa Ana is just about over. In fact I'm leaving next week. As yet the destination is not certain, but it will be one of two places, both of which are here in California. Some of my squadron will go to Tulare, the field which is headed by Tex Rankin, the world's champion acrobatic flyer. The rest of the bunch will go to Hemet, a small town aout 50 miles east of here.

Both are supposed to be swell places, so I don't guess it will make a heck of a lot of difference as long as I can
